Vigna Monte Nero Vineyard
For more than 20 years, Ray Franscioni has been a prominent grape-grower in the Monterey County region. His operation has evolved into growing 2,000 acres of vines while continuing the family row crop business. About half of the grape yield is grown in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Vigne Monte Nero is planted to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and situated at 730 ft. elevation. Vigne Monte Nero contributes to Franscioni's Puma Road Winery wines.
